A contemporary surprise sits beyond the period facade of 301 Edgecliff Rd. With a 21st-century twist, this original 1890s freestanding villa has been reborn to suit a growing modern family seeking calm in the heart of Woollahra.
Until now that expanding family has been Bitcoin boss and founder of Cosmos Asset Management James Manning and his wife, Louise, the former Parlour X fashion designer, plus their four young children.
The family of six are familiar with Woollahra; their current selling agent, William Manning of Highland Double Bay, sold a nearby mansion on their behalf for $15.5m in 2022 – the one-time James Packer pad on Rosemont Ave.
Now the clan has moved to the Northern Beaches, their two-storey four-bedroom house on Edgecliff Rd is ready for new custodians and has an $8m-$8.5m guide.

With plenty of designer street cred, thanks to its meticulous makeover by James Garvan Architecture and sophisticated interiors by Tamsin Johnson, it has stone surfaces, oak herringbone floorboards, bespoke lighting and European bathroom hardware.
The glass-framed entry portico opens to a stately foyer with a multipurpose family room to one side and an open-plan everyday zone to the other.
This ground-floor space is home to a custom-made stone kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a cosy living area with a Jetmaster fireplace.
For a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, high sliding doors pull back to reveal a private barbecue deck with established trees, an outdoor fireplace and built-in lighting.
Up on level one, all four bedrooms have built-ins with two sharing a communal bathroom and two with ensuites and balconies.
The spacious primary suite has a large walk-in wardrobe as well as a double vanity in the bathroom and district views.
Both full bathrooms feature Victoria + Albert vanities plus Perrin & Rowe tapware, and a powder room tucked under the staircase is a convenient ground-level alternative.
This floor also has a large storage room and full security, as well as a lock-up garage with a stacker to accommodate two cars and internal house access.
Additional features of the reinvented family home include high ceilings throughout, an internal laundry, zoned airconditioning and surround sound. It is approximately 300m to Woollahra Public School and 600m to Queen St shops.
